Simona Halep is getting closer to leaving the WTA TOP-30

Simona Halep, ineligible after failing a doping test at the 2022 US Open, has dropped 5 places compared to last week in the WTA Live rankings.

Halep is currently ranked 25th with 1,565 points, 390 behind after failing to defend her 2022 Indian Wells semi-final.

This is the fall of the former WTA leader by 6 positions.

There is a possibility that Halep could lose a few more places in the world ranking depending on the results that will take place at Indian Wells 2023.
